I feel like our team would disagree. Its just different.


The players on the team have been tweeting about Chucky all week. They are pumped. Chucky means something to every member of the Ole Miss community.

This is not new but has been a tradition since he passed.

All 25 recipients of the Chucky Mullins Courage award will be invited to the annual banquet tonight, along with his head coach at the time, Billy Brewer.
In this video you can see the bust of Chucky which is honored by every player as they pass onto/from the field.

This is Chucky Mullins weekend. Chucky's accident was 25 years ago, and that year the Ole Miss Rebels found themselves in the Liberty Bowl after the regular season. The connection between the Chucky Mullins story and Memphis is, therefore, a natural one.
Chucky Mullins Drive will be dedicated this weekend, and Mullins will be posthumously inducted into the M Club.
The number 38 will be featured on the Rebs' helmets and have a prominent fixture in the corners of both endzones at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The 38 yard line will be specially marked on the field.
The first 20,000 fans will get a No. 38 button to wear.

Deterrian Shackleford wears 38 this year.

just fyi.

It is kind of odd in a way. You would think that an injury like that would actually motivate people to not want to play football.
